The firm of T. J. & J. C. Hadley has dissolved copartnership. Mr. J. C. Hadly will conduct the business at the old stand and Mr.rT. J. Hadley will open in another place. Our colored people celebrated emancipation day here on the first. They had a parade" with music " by a brass band, and some speaking. Only a small crowd turned out. Some thirty, or forty persons from Rocky Mount came down Saturday night to attend the minstrel show here. Judging from what the Rocky Mount News says, they caught cold by the trip. Monday the Graded School was to have resumed after the holidays, but the snow prevented a full attendance and id was thought best to suspend untilVednesday. The school began on that day.

We have understood that the Pop ulist candidates for the county offices, who were defeated in the last election, have taken action be fore the courts to secure the offices to which they clayn to have been elect ed. We don't know the grounds of their claim, but the case will, in all probability, come up at the next term of court, w hich will be in Feb-, ruary . Cliruttmsut Tree. - On New Year's night there was a Christmas tree in the Methodist church. The tree, which was quite a large one, was loaded with pretty presents for the little folks. The children may have thought Old Santa Claus was quite late in com ing, but when he - did come he brought enough to make up for his tardiness. All enjoytd the- distribu tion of the presents very much. Deavvft' Scientific XuveltieK. This Company is now here giving daily exhibitions in the Opera House. The exhibics consist of wonderful mechanical contrivances to represent all sorts of figures. They give good exhibitions and are showing to crowd ed houses. The exhibitions are at night, but Saturday afternoon" there will be a special performance. Those who like to attend such exhibitions cannot fail to enjoys the Scientific Novelties. Firemen's Sapper. The Wilson Fire Company gave an -oyster supper on Tuesday night last celebrating, in a most agreeable way, the incoming of the new year. They were very choice in the selec tion, not only of their .oysters, but also of their guests. Thus far we have only heard of a few outsiders that were invited. His honor, the Mayor, the board of aldermen, town clerk, and chief of police being among the honored few. The Old Year Out. Those who sat up last Monday night to see the old year out and the new year in had poetry in their hearts, but they saw no poetic sight. The clock ticked the same way at twelve ..o'clock that night as any other night. No mourning drapery was seen on the clouds in the last hour of the dead year, nor were there any joyful bells from the skies to sound forth the praises of the New Year. The old year just went out and the new came in at the same time, and the watchers saw it not. Aim a LittleLower. 1 Last Friday the News-Observer speaking of the city superintendents of the public schools, makes the fol lowing blunder: Supt. Connor, of Wilson, has a fine record; and is up with the times He is a brother of Judge Connor. While we are sorry to make it ap pear that Judge Connor is old enough to have a son so able and so well known, still as lovers of truth we must correct our contemporary Mr. Geo. W. Connor, our efficient and scholarly superintendent, is a son of our distinguished friend Judge Connor. Dreadful Accident. We have learned that a very bad accident happened on .Mr. Jacfb Avcock's olace near Fremont a "few days ago. A package of gunpowder, that was lying on the mantle piece m a Mr. Woodard's house, fell oft upon the hearth. Mr. Aycock's son, who was present, stooped down to pick it up when the powder exploded. He was badlv burned. Mr. Woodard and his two children were also severe ly injured. The"y are' so badly in iured that their death would not be j ... unexpected. The ' house also was materially damaged. A Others See Us. The Rocky Mount News says: Some forty persons chartered a train Saturday night in order that they might attend the performance of Gorton's Minstrels in the Wilson Opera House on that night. Well, we went, and we came; but what a narrow escape we all had from being frozpn to death! There is po danger of any fresh meats ever decaying in that house. . Gortons Minstrels are considered by all who have ever seen them be fore to be a verv nice company of ar tists, but how can we expect a block of ice to get up and give a perform ance? ; ; Of coarse we feel cheated, and it will be many moons before the man agement of the Wilson Opera House can expect a large delegation from Rocky Mount if such a cold recep tion is again accorded them. V A.: i There are two faces n the calendar, both of children, representing "Sum mer" and "Winter." The design was by one of the mot gifted artists in the country, and the coloring is most exquisite. The calendar is not only beautiful, but it is also useful, as it presents all th,e desired informa tion concerning astronomical events during the year. If your druggist does not have Hood's Sarsaparilla Calendar it may be obtaintd by sending six cents in stamps to C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. UfKcriblng h Circle. Wilson is a hustling town, and there are some people in it that are especially of the hustling kind. They abhor a square, and have an irresisti ble tendency to rub oft the corners and make circles of the town blocks. Witness the path across the lot of the Presbyterian church. The mem bers of the church have .tried to break up the habit of going across lot. They have chopped over old path, filled it in with new dirt, turfed it, and bushed it. They have ditched it and work it. They have put up warning boards and hedged the path with brambles; but each time the careless public has dis regarded their efforts and marched over all opposition. And, too, when only about ten more steps would take one to the street corner. .What can be done to stop it? Perhaps if a palisade was built around the lot and fishhooks put upon each spike, the innocent public might find out that they are asked riot to cross the lot. v . -v Tracliera' Association. V On Saturday, January 5th 1895, the Wilson county Teachers' Associ ation . will met at Elm City. This association was formed in the Wilson Graded School building on the first of last December, and next Saturday will come together in their first regu- ar meeting. . - An interesting programme of ex ercises has been arranged for the oc casion, which will consist of papers and discussions. The following . is the programme: ' Opening Exercises Rev. ;E. T. Phillips. , The Teacher's Responsibility G. W. Connor. ' Organization and Discipline W. C. Allen. Teaching of Reading Mrs. T. B. Winstead. , Teaching of Language I. W Lamm. The papers will open the discus- cussions ot the various suDiects. One-half an hour will be given to each subject. The hour of meeting is eleven o'clock. It is hoped that all the teachers and school men of the county will be there. All ought to go. MaoXair Connor. Last night at the Episcopal church was witnessed one of the prettiest marriages ever celebrated in Wilson. A large crowd of friends and well- wishers filled the church long . before the hour set for the ceremony; Promptly at 7 o'clock the bride, in a beautiful gown of white silk, ven tered on the arm of her brother, Mr. George Connor, and slowly ad vanced to the solemn strains of Mendelssohn's grand wedding march. They were met at the chancel rail by the groom. As the ceremony closed the organ again pealed forth, but now the triumphant tones of Lohe gren filled the air, stirring every heart with happy and hopeful thoughts. The attendants to the bride were: Maid of honor, Mis Kate Con nor;c sister of the bride, Miss Kate Mercer, Miss Margaret Hadley, Mattie Harrison, and Miss Gertrude Blount. The groom's were: Mr. W. R, MacN.iir, of Henderson, brother ol .the groom, Mr. W. F. Hall, of Statesvflle, Mr. N.-S. Perkins, of An niston Ala., Mr. Selby Anderson, and Mr. Robert Connor. , The ushers were Messrs. Groves I Connor, and Paul Anderson. Mrs. S. W. Venable presided at the organ. The bride, Miss Mary .Groves Connor is a daughter of Judge H. Gv Connor, and is one ot Wilson's most beautiful and popular daughters. The groom Mr. Harvey Church j MacNair, has lived so long in Wilson that he is looked upon as one of us. He is a young man of high character and an untiring energy and will make his mark. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party were driven tp the residence of the bride's parents, where a recepdon was given them. The presents were numerous and handsome. At 11:27 the newly united couple boarded the North bound train en- route for Henderson, N. C. their future home?. The Advance joins their many friends in wishing tfyem God speed ' ' on their journey through life. DIED. At Stantonsburg, bee. 35th 1894, Mr. J no., A. Lane, in the 73rd year of his age A The deceased was a highly' respected citixen of the county and his numerous friends will hear of his death with regret.

A Delightful Entertainment and a Pleaa- , ant Time. ; The citizens of Speights Bridge enjoyed quite a rare treat in the shape of n entertainment that was given in the old store of Mr. R. E. Beaman, December 28th, for the benefit of Tabernacle M. E. church. The entertainment was chiefly managed by Mrs Wm. Darden, and it was due much to her able manage ment that it was such a success. . Consideration for your valuable space keeps the writer from giving a more detailed account. The programme opened with the piece called "Seasons" and it was happily rendered by httle Misses Bedie and Sadie Darden, Etta Bea man, and Carrie Edwards. Then"Mend-I Can't" charade wlih Miss Mattie Darden as Sophia, Miss Pattie May as Laura, Miss Minnie, May as Marion and Miss Martha Walston as aunt Phoebe was re ceived by the audience with much applause. ' ' The song tableau, "send for mother, Berdie's Dying," rendered by Miss Zylpuia Darden is worthy of note. Miss Darden has a good voice , of considerable compass. Th e short drama entitled "Saved' was well received by the audience and the acting of Messrs. W. M. and E. S. Darden and Master Arch Dar den was very good. Miss Pattie May gave the audience the delightful recitation entitled "Shadows." Miss May has fine elocutionary powers which show good training. She also took part in many of the short plays and show ed to the audience that she was some what of on actress. Mr. E. S. Darden rendered several recitations which were of an excellent nature. He is a young man of con siderable promise. ' Miss Minnie, May was highly com plimentep for her excellent acting and especially the part of "Marthy" in the "Texas Courtship." Miss May displayed considerable histri onic talent and . no other, person in the entertainment pleased the audi ence more. Miss Mattie Darden did well in all of her pieces. - Mr. C. L. Abernethy, of the Beau fort Herald, assisted the entertain ment by recitations, comic'songs etc. As a whole the affair was a success and netted the church "quite a heat sum. Speights Bridge, N. C. W. EDUCATORS MEET. Convention of the Superintendents City Schools. of On last Wednesday and Thursday the Superintendents '' of the city schools of North Carolina met in Raleigh. Nearly every school was represented, and all gave encourag ing reports of their work. : Many very ablind' interesting papers were read ry the members. It was one ol the test sessions ever held in the State. Mr. Geo. W. Connor, of the Wil son Public Schools, read a paper on 'A Method of Teaching Latin " to Beginners." The News-Observer reports it as being a very suggestive and stimulating .paper. It brought out thoughtful discussion on that line. - . " Superintendent Toms, of the Dur ham schools.was elected President and Superintendent Howell, of Goldsboro, was re-elected Secretary. The next session will be held in Raleigh on the 26th of December 1895. , Swallowed a Pound of Cotton. Two days ago a cotton planter came into Raleigh, bringing a couple of bales of cotton with him. He traveled through mud and rain and when he reached Raleigh he was damp, chill v and uncomfortable, but he proceeded to go around among the buyers, Was finally offer ed five cents for his otton and drove off to the platform. "... He returned with his certificate of weights, secured his check and went and drew his money. By this time he. was very damp and chill v, so he concluded to take just a littfe of the "ardent." He went to a saloon, called for a "short." He poured it out, toofc it up, when a by-stander said, "Give us a toast?"1 "All right," said the farmer, and raising the glass to his lips, he said; ' Here goes a pound of cotton." ' News-Observer.

There was quite an unusual and costly accident on the streets Christmas morning about 8 o'clock. Aubrey Hoover and John Troutman were running a stand for the sale of fir? works for Dr. Gibson in front of his store. Some one threw a lighted fire cracker on the pile of fire works, and in an instant they were ig nited. For a few moments things were lively in that region. Sky rockets, Roman candles, fire crackers, cannon crackers, whirligigs, et cetera, all were ignited, and acted in concert to make the small boy hop with delight. In three minutes all that was left of a f 50 stock was a pile of debris in the streets. It was quite a loss to Dr Gibson, and is to be regretted. KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's beFt products to the needs of physic being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative ! principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasr ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. . Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug gists in 50c and $1 bottles,-but it is man ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. onjy, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Fig, and being well reformed, von will not accept any substitute if ottered. 1 ' , ' ' Vse O"0 Tobacco Guano, The highest price tobacco sold in ;. eastern N.
